Del Monte Shopping Center

“Spectacular dog friendly beach! Must see! There are volleyball nets at the bottom of Ocean Ave that my daughter loves!”

“Aside from my grandpa's recipe this place has the best clam chowder in Monterey with the awards to prove it. You can grab a bowl from their fish market or go inside for the full dining experience. ”

“First built in 1797, Carmel Mission is one of the most authentically restored mission churches in California.”

“This quintessential bistro and relaxed neighborhood spot in the heart of charming Carmel-by-the-Sea. The quirky corner space offers petite but comfortable wooden chairs and tables, set beneath hanging copper pots and, of course, a bicycle or two. First and foremost, the kitchen focuses on comforting seasonal cuisine with a California-Mediterranean slant, plus a handful of pizzas and fantastic breads fired in their wood-burning oven. At the same time, they are dedicated to beloved French classics.”

“Highly recommended - Several trails, mostly easy walking, dirt trails. Some of the best trails are the ones along the see. Get there early on weekends, it fills up and they turn people away.”
